Essential linkage: Bioware's next RPG to get pen-and-paper treatment. You get the mountain dew, we'll bring the D20s.
If there's one thing we love more than getting to grips with a nice meaty RPG on our PCs, it's getting to grips with a nice meaty RPG on our kitchen table. Yes, we're talking dice-rolling, but we're also talking Dragon Age, BioWare's next big RPG title.
'Huh', you say? Well, EA and Bioware has just announced a partnership with quality publisher of quality pen-and-paper RPGs Green Ronin Publishing to produce a Dragon Age RPG box set. Ars Technica has an excellent chat with BioWare's Mark Darrah on just why the company's making the ultimate crossover. And it's kinda awesome:
As a result, Darrah said that the company had a talented team working on the adaptation. Naturally, Bioware picked Green Ronin because, "[they're] one of the strongest Pen-and-paper RPG companies around and have had experience with dark fantasy settings in the past." Darrah himself is a fan of the publisher's work, and he admitted that he's involved with a Mutants & Masterminds campaign.
Ha. Geek win. Check out Green Ronin's Dragon Age site for more info.
